So a mount point has failed but the camera continues to work without degradation.

My original comment was not meant as critique simply questioning if there was a problem with the image upload. I have seen problems with image uploads before that have resulted in similar effects. ...

I didn’t intend to offend. It looked like a very low res upload that was sharpened again. By mushy I’m referring to a distinct lack of detail. Then over sharpened so the mushiness and rather high ...

Not sure if uploading the image has cause a problem but I’m seeing it very mushy and very over sharpened.

I’m a loyal Minolta owner. It’s just that Sony have changed the badge.

To add to Juan’s reply, APS-C crop is set to automatic by default (after the reset). If you put an APS-C lens on it will switch to crop mode.

@panther fan. I'd happily pay it. I never take video but have often received "not permitted in this mode" when accidentally pressing the totally useless record button next to my BBF button on my...

This misses the point. I would pay more not to have video menus and wasted buttons.

Given you are only interested in the accessories part of the question I'll chime in on the tripod. The PD Tripod is well past it's limits with the 200-600 and TC.  I've used it on occasions with ...

The lens forum only appeared a year or so ago. This one has been in use for years. I suspect many don’t know the lens forum exists at all.

I use a mindshift rotation pro. It’s more rucksack like than camera-bag like. The thing I like is the access to my camera gear in the rotation part and the big rucksack part above it for ...

i got to the point where super glue was a very tempting option.  I went with tape in the end. If I could afford it I would buy the Riv just for the locking compensation dial.

You’re right about the cap. My Batis now wears a Sony lens cap. The Batis cap decided not to come home from a trip. I hope it’s happy, where ever it is.

Actually your title should be slow enough to catch lightning. The normal technique to catch lightning is longer exposure.

There is a contact link on the website. You could try asking him directly.

Yes your right the camera blog has gone.  There is a baking blog now though 😀

The link posted by nook just above yours seems to go to the right place.

I’m not aware of one. It would be a nice feature though. My DAM, Photo Supreme, can ‘stack’ files on import automatically. Images taken less than a second apart are grouped and colour coded.  I can ...

Indeed we are at cross purposes. The adaptor I mean is a box that converts from HDMI to USB, not just a cable

I wouldn’t call the adaptor I have cheap. It was state of the art when I got it a few years back so cost a significant amount at the time. For sure there must be many other devices available now.
